the pathetic story of 3 uni undergrads..
~this is a super whooper duper uber long story.. have your popcorns and cokes by your side!~
once upon a time, there were 3 gals namely huifang, christina and chunxin in ntu
lets call them fang, chris and chun
yupz.. these's them.. 3 adorable peeps.. muahaha
anyhow they were required to do a 213 project.. 213 is the module number for IT..
IT? these 3 are IT goondus.. klutz.. they were all wondering how they are gonna complete the project
so they started very early.. during the 1 week holiday.. the rough report was out.. sorta finalized maybe just missing a bit more editing
until one fine day.. and that fine day happened to be a wednesday.. and that was 2 days before the dateline (friday), they realized that their choice of technologies were inappropriate! they chose something too high- tech for that simple company they were working on
after discussing with the tutor, they decided to change almost the whole report.. the whole report! when it's supposed to be due on fri 5pm
so these 3 gals only had 2.5 days to rush out the entire report
on wed night.. chris was working on one part of the report all the way till 3am.. could have continued further but she had to wake up at 6am the next morning for her 830 lesson
so this poor gal only had 3 hours of sleep before she started the new day
the next day thurs, after chris's morning class.. she met up with chun and fang to continue doing their report.. meanwhile chris was recovering from her illness.. chun fell sick at this point of time.. and passed it to fang..
nvm.. so they were working on the report in the access lab till late and i mean LATE! 11pm.. the time when the lab closes..
so that means all 3 of them were working non- stop since morning till 11pm
chris who was recovering.. was surrounded by the sick chun and fang.. so obviously she caught the germs and fell sick again
there we have.. 3 sickos workng on the bloody IT report and that's not the end
after the lab closed on thurs night, they proceeded to take 179 out of the sch so its easier for them to hail cabs..
on the bus.. chun realized that the flowchart was missing something..
as chris was alighting at the first stop out of ntu to hail the cab.. the rest also alighted at that stop to discuss the issue
so at the bus stop.. these 3 goondus did sth they had never done in their entire life before..
they took out the flowchart and pencil, squatted at the bus stop and commenced promptly to edit the flowchart.. ! at the bus stop! how pathetic.. and mind you.. the time then was already 1130pm
how unglam.. but they just didnt care anymore..
so pple walking past were staring at the 3 idiots squatting at the bus stop, drawing their flowcharts.. at ard 1150pm.. they sorta finished editing the flowchart
so they all chionged home after tt..
this time it was chun's and fang's turn to do the report overnight.. chris did it on wed while they were sleeping
the next day! friday aftnoon.. while other groups were giving their reports 1 final check and printing them out.. the 3 adorable gals were still editing their report until 430pm.. half an hour before the dateline.. could they FINALLY print out their report
so they handed in the report after that.. at last they heaved a sigh of relief
today in IT class.. the tutor was going thru in general some of the errors and the good abt the reports.. ppt slide went after ppt slide until one particular slide titled "flowcharting errors " was reached
so these 3 IT goondus were reading the slide when suddenly chun said to chris "eh our names on the slide leh!!"
chris: " huh! what what! how come our names on the slide? shit!"
then suddenly chris and fang saw THE sentence that reads: "most correctly drawn flowchart -chunxin, christina and huifang"
unbelievable! at least they did not squat for nothing at the bustop editing their flowchart
so the tutor returned the reports one by one to the class.. the 3 gals got an A-
whew.. at least not a B.. if they had gotten a B.. they would have wailed
but they decided that an A- was still not good enough so they made up their minds to get an A+ for part 2 of the project
yes.. the above is only part 1.. there's still part 2 which is more difficult to do.. at least in the opinions of the 3 gals.. coz remember they are IT goondus?
so anyhow.. i can forsee more sleepless nights.. chris falling sick again.. and maybe more squattings at the bus stop before they are finally able to produce part 2 of the report
